Abstract (en)

A trimeric aminoterminal propeptide of type III procollagen free of proteolytic activity that could degrade the propeptide may be used to produce an antibody specific to the trimeric propeptide and which has no affinity for the monomeric degraded propeptide. This antibody may be used to assay more accurately propeptide which is a measure of rate of production of collagen, which is useful in diagnosing e.g. fibrosis.
